PUBLISHED BI-WEEKLY FOR TWA EMPLOYEES
VOL. 26, NO. 2
JANUARY 21, 1963
Clyde E. Williams
Given New Post
New York—The appointment of
Clyde E. Williams as system director-transportation, based at corporate headquarters in New York,
has been announced by J. E. Frankum, vice president-transportation.
Formerly director of administration
on the staff of the system general
manager, Williams succeeds R. C.
Horstmeyer, recently named to the
new post of senior director-merger
coordination.
"His experience in the areas of
flight operations and operational
planning, together with his knowledge of system management policies and practices, make him particularly well qualified to be the
transportation division's representative at the corporate staff headquarters," Frankum said.
Williams is a 23-year TWA veteran. He began his career in 1940
in flight dispatch at Kansas City.
As a Lt. Commander during World
War II, he was in charge of Naval
Air Transport staff dispatching operations in the Pacific.
He returned to TWA in 1946 as
overseas manager of flight dispatch,
and in 1957 was promoted to the
equivalent then of his most recent
post on the system general manager's staff.
Merger May Cause
Route Case Deferral
Washington — TWA and Pan
American have asked the CAR to
defer for six months the proceedings in the trans-Atlantic route renewal case in the light of their
pending merger application.
The motion pointed out that the
route renewal proceedings are in
an early state, with no exhibits or
other materials yet exchanged, and
with the hearings scheduled to begin April 29. Thus it would be illogical and impractical to proceed
until the TWA-Pan Am merger application is clarified.
CAB examiner James Keith, in a
notice to parties involved, indicated
that he would concur with the request as he suspended all procedural dates "until further notice."
CAB Examiner Okays
Transfer Of Service
Washington—Transfer of TWA's
operating rights at Williamsport
and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to Allegheny Airlines and at Albany and
Binghamton to Mohawk has been
recommended by CAB examiner
Herbert K. Bryan.
Bryan noted that transfer to the
two local service carriers of the
route segments involved would
save TWA more than $1,400,000
a year.
TWA would retain its nonstop
Boston-Pittsburgh authority.
In the same action, Bryan also
recommended termination of American's service at Scranton-Wilkes-
Barre.
VIOLETTE SAWIRIS is greeted by Los Angeles Shrine officials on her arrival in the U.S. for treatment of polio at famed Shriners' Hospital. With
them is her father, Nimr Sawiris, air freight supervisor for TWA at
Cairo.
Many TWA Friends Pitch In
Daughter Of Cairo Employee
Flies To U.S. For Medical Care
Los Angeles—TWA and many of its friends throughout the world
teamed up over the Christmas holidays to give the best possible
present to the ten year old child of a Cairo employee.
Violette Sawiris, daughter of Nimr Sawiris, air freight supervisor
in Cairo, is a polio victim. She has undergone treatment in a
German hospital for corrections to her right leg, but extensive
surgery and treatment are still needed on her spine and left leg
to enable her to walk again.
Dr. Vernon Nickels, a Los Angeles physician, learned of Vio-
lette's plight while on a lecture
tour in Cairo recently. On his return to Los Angeles, he made arrangements with the famed Shriners' Hospital to complete the necessary treatment without charge.
All that remained was to bring
Violette and her father to the U.S.
and to find a place for them to
stay pending examinations and admittance to the hospital.
That's when TWAers across the
system began pitching in. Jim
Small, Cairo DTM, and Larry
Trimble, International region transportation vice president, and their
staffs made arrangements for the
flight to the U.S. Bob McKay, area
director of public relations in Los
Angeles, contacted Hilton Hotel
officials and they generously donated rooms for the father and
daughter in the Statler Hilton for
two weeks.
The week before Christmas, Violette and her father arrived in Los
Angeles, and were met by a host
of TWAers, Shriners and Hilton
friends.
Violette's Christmas present is
being unwrapped slowly. She will
be in Shriners' Hospital for a year
—but by next Christmas the doctors hope to have her walking
again.

Here are the films being

now through Feb. 5:
Taras Bulba, starring Yul Bryn-
ner and Tony Curtis.
Escape From East Berlin, with
Don Murray and Christine
Kaufman.
Forty Pounds of Trouble, starring Tony Curtis and Suzanne
Pleshette.
Purchasing Road Show Tells
TWA's Needs To Businessmen
Pittsburgh—TWA has gone "on the road" to show the nation's
businessmen and manufacturers that "TWA Means Business" for
their firms and communities.
Pre-packaged exhibits of the airline's purchasing needs, covering
everything from nuts and bolts to tractors, have been assembled
for presentation at meetings throughout the country, sponsored by
chambers of commerce or local trade associations.
The first presentation was held
here January 14 before the Greater
Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce.
Columbus, Ohio, is the next stop,
on January 29. The program is
scheduled for presentation in Kansas City, February 20; Chicago,
February 25; and Indianapolis, February 28. Interest in the program
also has been expressed by chamber officials in Los Angeles, St.
Louis, and Boston. TWA hopes to
schedule at least two presentations
monthly through next spring.
"We think these programs will
promote new business for local
manufacturing firms and, at the
same time, give us the advantage
of more competitive bidding for
our business," said J. A. Shaunty,
TWA's purchasing vice president.
"We spend more than $60,000,000
a year and want to buy material
that meets our exacting specifications at prices reflecting true competitive values," he added.
Manv of the nearlv 90,000 items
which TWA keeps in a $16,000,-
000 annual inventory are being
displayed at the meetings. Portable items like printed matter,
carpets, seat belts, silverware, food
and beverage service supplies, aircraft engine parts and accessories
and uniforms are actually exhibited.
Photographs of larger equipment
including baggage carts, aircraft
tow tractors, auxiliary ground power units and various types of vehicles are also shown.
One of the displays features
sketches and broad specifications
of equipment not yet available, but
which TWA envisions will be need
ed in the future and as such will
offer manufacturers a challenge to
develop and market new items.
Buyers for TWA are on hand at
the presentations to answer questions and distribute brochures outlining the airline's wide range of
purchasing needs. The brochures
list buyers of specific items to facilitate follow-up contact with TWA
by suppliers.
Marketing representatives are
also on hand to outline TWA services for the business traveler including its Briefcase Commuter
and Conference services and cargo
service—stressing TWA's ability to
serve businessmen interested in the
Common Market or international
trade.
TWA's need to reduce purchasing costs through an expanded
group of competitive manufacturers, offering the required items, is
consistent with the objectives of
many state administrations, faced
with decreasing markets and the
resulting unemployment.
The first presentation, here in
Pittsburgh, supported Pennsylvania's main objective—"the need
for a solution to the state's persistent unemployment problem," as recently expressed by William W.
Scranton, newly-elected governor.
And in Ohio, where the program
will be presented before businessmen in the capital city of Columbus, Governor James A. Rhodes'
mandate is "to get Ohio moving."
Coordinators for the "TWA
Means Business" program are Roy
